Jinggang Mountains, Nature reserve and tentative World Heritage Site in Jiangxi, China

The Jinggang Mountains span 670 square kilometers of forested ridges between Jiangxi and Hunan provinces, reaching an elevation of 1841 meters.

The mountain range became a stronghold for Mao Zedong and the Red Army in the late 1920s, establishing a command center at Maoping.

The Revolution Museum, Martyrs Cemetery, and former Red Army mint stand as testimonials to the Chinese revolutionary movement in these mountains.

The main settlement of Ciping serves as a base for accessing hiking trails, historical landmarks, and natural areas throughout the mountain range.

The mountains contain deposits of porcelain clay and rare earth ore, while supporting traditional agriculture at their lower elevations.
